Nurseries

ILG holds dear to its heart, early years education. We see this as the beginning of a journey of life and discovery. ILG Nursery Schools have gained the enviable reputation of nurturing and developing children to their full potential, in an environment where happiness is considered the key to successful learning.

In our schools we aim to create a caring, welcoming environment in which the potential of each child can be fully developed. We believe that the early years are crucial in terms of their physical, intellectual, emotional, social development and well being. We encourage your child to learn to cooperate with others and share their experiences with them. We provide them with suitable materials and opportunities to enable them to make a positive start to their education.

We offer a wonderfully rich curriculum which enables our pupils to become confident learners through inspirational teaching and a whole world of opportunity. Progress is carefully tracked and monitored to ensure that the curriculum is individually tailored to each child’s needs.

Nursery and Reception are known as the ‘Early Years Foundation Stage’. We recognise the essential role of parents in their child’s education. Nowhere is this more important then at the Early Years Foundation Stage. Therefore we invite parents to work in partnership with us to ensure that your children make the best possible start.

We know every child is unique and learns in different ways, so the curriculum is tailored to their individual needs. They are helped to think critically and ask questions. The children are nurtured and cared for and encouraged to respect themselves and others, so they will grow into independent and confident adults.

Activities vary from day to day and season to season, giving children as wide a variety of experience as possible. Everything we do helps your child to learn. It may look like play to an adult but it has a serious purpose for your child. All the activities are derived from the ‘Early Learning Goals’ which form the curriculum.

The seventeen Early Learning Goals are organised under the following seven headings:

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Communication and Language

Physical Development

Literacy

Mathematics

Understanding the World

Expressive Arts and Design

We are very proud of the solid foundation we give our youngest children in their formative years of education, and it is of even greater pleasure to see their outstanding academic achievement in later years.

Join your children on their discovery and please do come and see our wonderful Nursery schools.
